Away for the weekend and caching along the way. Quick find. TFTC

Heading to Wallaroo for a weekend of caching, trying to finish some we have started along the way and start the abandoned sidings trail. TFTC

Caching today with CPwanderer, GoodLook, Snap Happy and TheDame as "The Usual Suspects". Logs were either stamped or signed with this group name, depending on the size of the log and container.Most caches were found quickly with a couple needing a longer search but all found. Caches were all in good condition.TFTC Dazzatron

**Found by Snap Happy** Out and about with GoodLook and TheDame as we headed to Yorke Peninsular for the weekend. Today we met up with CPwanderer and Gizmo's Gang caching between Port Wakefield and Wallaroo. Our caching name today was *"The Usual Suspects"*. Logs were either stamped or signed with this group name, depending on the size of the log and container.Most caches were found quickly with a couple needing a longer search but all found. Caches were all in good condition unless otherwise stated.The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when traveling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual COs, *the fantastic photo opportunities* and sometimes finding places that even some locals dont know about. I, like most cachers, look for more than a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most COs take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. **I love traveling this big land of ours.** I love taking the roads less travelled. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. I even enjoy the longer scenic walks although I'm not as young and as fit as I used to be. I love the different coffee shops I find. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own.The weather was patchy with the rain holding off for the most part. The vistas stunning and I particularly love the bright yellow fields of canola (especially if they had old buildings in them). The coffee shops and bakeries wonderful and the company fabulous. Many laughs ensued as we made our way North West.I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues. Thank you Dazzatron for highlighting this area and for providing this game piece for our enjoyment. Thanks for the history lesson too. Appreciate your efforts. - PSorry for the generic log but doing so many in a day we lost track of individual hides. This does not mean we do not appreciate the enormous effort and expense gone into setting up the series.Many thanks Dazzatron for the fun and laughs.**Warning**, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to learning new things and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Cache on! **#19248**

Thanks

Thankyou for the fun

Hmm, yep. What to say... found with Sarge5556

No sure what's anti clockwise, it's posted, with jeffner5556

Out with an old relic (Cheezel1961) on the pennyfarthings today, we cycled from Wallaroo to Kadina to Pt Hughes and back to Wallaroo, picking up the railtrail caches and nearby ones that we rode past. An awesome day, finding 118 caches and riding 62km.Really enjoyed these bikepaths and cruising around these lovely towns.Good to see an old logbook here

Out with some old geezer called weredunn4 targeting ARSS series of caches out of Wallaroo on the bikes.Of course there will be a few other caches well cross paths with that well also have to snaffle.Caching and riding a bike, great combinationTFTC

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Dazzatron [^]

NYE Power trailing ! TftC and happy new year ! May 2024 bring many more smilies your way! This log will need replacing. My apologies, no spare log paper on me today.

Nice easy find with wal & ol, TFTC!

Weekend trip to Wallaroo and Kadina with Pony1966. Day 2.TFTC

HELLO

Thanks

Decided to do a day trip to Kadina to make a start on the Abandoned Railway Sidings/Stations series, as well as Alford and Tickera on the way. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned otherwise. TFTC

Getting away on a Yorke Peninsula long weekend. I wanted to get a weekend in before the busy school holidays kick in. Taking the opportunity to grab some solved mysteries and any traditional and multi caches along the way. Just so enjoyable exploring the regional areas in the sunshine. Thanks for the cache Dazzatron.# # #13488 # #

Chilly weather has returned and storm coming later today so on a mission to clear as many as we can around Kadina with iluvtrekking. Thanks Dazzatron

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

A chilly one today but that won't put us off our quest. We have enjoyed our time travelling the YP. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on a geo-guided tour.

Yayness

??

After a busy week at work I got myself organized for a leisurely day on the YP incentivized by an event in Wallaroo.
I made myself a list of caches to find and ended up with 35 finds for the day. There were a few dnf as well probably there and probably me just being cache blind.
The event was great a super spot and a huge crowd of cachers converged for a great catch up.
Weather was amazing in the morning but after the event turned quite wintery.
Some interesting wildlife a few mice that were too close for comfort (cms from my hands although think they were more terrified of me than me of them) and a sleepy lizard can’t imagine why he was out today.
My thanks to all the hiders for giving me a splendid day out!
Nice quick find here TFTC

The usual Wednesday Wander for members of Befuddled Puzzle solving group had us heading northwards once again in search of solved puzzles and anything else we might be passing. Today it was myself, S.A. Sewer Rats, Blackadders and Astro. [:o)] Meeting at the Rat's nest we headed today towards Kadina and around the top of Yorkes . There were the usual laughs[^], bad jokes, and some more DNF's to add to a list that should be shrinking and not increasing. [:(!]

I went for a solo walk as the other three had already done this one and were getting a bit tired of me stopping just for me to get another cache. Oh well, most time it is me that has already done it. A short search at GZ and the cache was in hand.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again I will trying to get the other two this year. [^] Should be easy as I only have to get two multi caches in July from the lockdown and couldn't get out. [:o)] The other was DNF's that came down from over 50 to the low teens before blowing out again but I really want to see only single a single digit this year.

***Thanks Dazzatron for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Hint was a bit confusing as I was looking for something to unscrew... but cache was quickly spotted on the ground.

Thanks for the cache

Today, the weather was forecast to be dismal with thunderstorms and a rain drenching! Consequently, gridge98 and I retreated to the more dry vicinity of Upper Yorke Peninsula. Other than a few drizzles, we had good weather. We visited Paskeville, Kadina, Moonta, Balgowan, Point Pearce, Maitland, and Arthurton, with highlights of the mining relics, 4WD-ing along the west coast beach, and finally dinner and heading around Maitland. A long day out and about, arriving home just after midnight.

Nearby was a cool little bike track. We parked nearby, and walked across the trail and scrub to get to GZ, where we found the cache reasonably quickly. The cache container was in good shape, although the logbook was fattened up, and hence was a little hard to extract. Thanks Dazzatron for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Parked up and made the short walk here, cache was easily found and is all good

Today With the weather more promising on the yorke peninsula than in Adelaide, Davidwazza and I decided to head over and clean out as much as we could as well as doing quite a bit of beach 4wdriving.
In total 87 finds within 1 DNF for the day.
Thanks for the Cache

Its been 6 years since we were last here in Kadina. Popped out to attempt some of the caches published since then.

TFTC

Thanks

Easy find, once I faced the right direction. Decided to fill our day, with a few caches, before we depart for home in Mt. Gambier, tomorrow morning. Tftcsl.

Day 266 (Thursday 21st) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Maitland today. A total of 16 for the day and 5568 for the trip. TFTC

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Back in Kadina to find a few more caches today.

Looking forward to another great Dazzatron hide. Telegraph???? What Telegraph? Found an eclipse tin with a log book. thanks Dazza

A Rat and an Adder were in the area caching.
It was a sunny day but windy.
Mrs Rat scurried over to GZ.
Cache was quickly located.
Clue does not match the cache. Tftc

The Adder and the Rat's usual Thursday caching day with the mission of targeting the Yorke Peninsular. Today was Kadina and anything on the way.

With the cache found by the Rat just lying in the nearby field it was returned to where we thought it should have been, at the base of the star dropper. Maybe the CO would like to check and confirm? TFTC

Quick find whilst touring thru the area on a very windy Sunday
Cool spot, great cache
